The only problem is, people who'd actually be able to play a "game" like that have better things to do then playing games like that.
Hack The Box is basically that game, for free, with DLC (couple new machines added every month).

When I was a student, I dreamed of a game like this.
You probably wish you've known about Uplink back then (assuming you've graduated within the last decade):
It's quite fun, even though UI glitches are pretty annoying sometimes. Also, you rarely ever go to terminal - there's a GUI app for almost everything. Which I consider a plus, actually.

People talk about "work simulation" games, but these are for me REALLY work simulations.
I just read about this:
“When you were in college, did you know what the workplace would be like? Each year hundreds of thousands of students go into the workplace with no idea what their job actually is, and corporations spend billions finding talent that will stay. We’re here to solve that. Through simulations, students can come in and experience a job. For the first five to ten minutes, we share some background, then for the rest of the day they’re working. Throughout, students are able to better understand what the job is like and whether it’s right for them. Corporations are able to find the best talent and see which students are a fit for them.”

You also don't have to wait, unlike other monthlies - once you sign up, you can play Overwatch immediately, though the other games in the bundle have to wait until they're revealed.
You never have to wait for the revealed games; you only have to wait for the secret ones. (I've been in for a couple of months in the last year or two.)
A side benefit of the subscription is a bunch of free games that aren't tied to any of the distribution systems (the "Humble Trove"). The games available have changed a bit since I was last subscribed, but not too much. I did enjoy The Sexy Brutale.
-
@pie_flavor I was really tempted by the Conan Exiles/Hat in Time one last month or two months ago. But I didn't get it.
Overwatch isn't that great a game, frankly. I know people love it because it has the Blizzard logo on it.

I'm with you there. I'd probably like it if I had a bunch of people I knew who wanted to play together, but I don't like doing random play with people I don't know and the complaints that go with it. It makes me miss our LAN pit with Unreal Tournament. (Plus the skins were free!)
-
@blakeyrat To each their own. I like Overwatch just because it's a good game, I honestly thought Blizzard was shit for their subscription models before I played it. It's not for some, I know people might get bored by the lack of customization. But there's enough characters to fill that gap and I appreciate that you already know every skill your opponent can pull out. It's also one of the few games where I actually like the characterization, and see the characters as fictional people instead of bundles of attacks and voice lines.

That's more or less why I stopped playing Overwatch, and have been hesitant to buy any other multiplayer-centric games like that, including Warhammer Vermintide 1 or 2 (of which both are on sale for 80% and 50%, respectively, at chrono.gg) or even keep playing the ones I do have (such as Payday 2 and Killing Floor 2).
-
@coldandtired Such an awesome game no one played...
-
@ChaosTheEternal Vermintide 2 is incredibly good, and I can highly recommend it, but it's true that you really need other people to play with, if you want to survive anything but the easiest difficulty. But it's similar enough to the first game to make the original worthless.

@ben_lubar Wait, so I can play "free" for 1 day? That used to be called "demo", not a "deal".

Poor ben, by the time he's done downloading it, he can't play it
-
@ben_lubar Yeah, I did that, then when I tried actually playing it it said I couldn't anymore, so I'm not falling for that again...

Free weekends are not demos.
Demos don't disappear based on a global clock.

Is 67% off not enough for you to buy the best simulation of people missing point-blank headshots on aliens?

Not for me, at least. I have plenty of other X-COM games.

I came here to post this and found it was already here.
I guess I'll be available at rare random times to play, if anyone wants to join up (ID: djls45[hash]1995).

Neat achievement. Did you also manage to hack it down to a mere 67 MBs too?
-
@Tsaukpaetra You don't have to download the game to claim the free game.
-
Sins of a solar empire: Rebellion is free on Humble Bundle for the next 2 days if you subscribe to their newsletter.
IMHO, worth it if nothing else then for the mods, I know there's a full conversion Star Trek mod at the very least that looks damned sweet if you like Trek.

@swayde I'd've thought the was not editing the question mark and everything afterwards out.

I was going to post a long URL that thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com had, but apparently that site's gone defunct in the year or so since I last looked at?

You mistyped incompressible.
